A
heartwarming story of a boy who over comes his fears by applying his efforts
and following the path of Jesus. Ben has to prove to his family he is
responsible enough to take on summer camp and look in the face of everything
that scares him. In the process he
proves to be a hero with his handicapped friend Mary who has lost her service
dog and also his new found homeless friend Jeremy.
This is a
book that will hold the interest of children, but also the reader will be able
to identify with Ben’s fears and sibling rivalry. Janet Ann Collins has written
a story that teaches compassion, alerts a child to the hardships of others in
life.
The story awakens children to the troubles some people have in their lives, and shows them how God interacts through all of us in ways we never expect.
